Studio Open House

You are invited to my studio open house this weekend December 3, 4, and 5! Come by studio 312, at Lorraine Mills, 560 Mineral Springs Avenue, Pawtucket, Rhode Island for a cup of coffee and a chat. I hope to get some Christmas cookies made before then, too.

It will be Friday from 5-9, Saturday from 12-7, and Sunday from 12-6. Children are welcome. I even have a few toys in there. I will be doing some lino-printing this weekend, and hand-coloring the prints with watercolor. The prints are part of my new series of children at play, and I am having the most wonderful time making them. You will also be able to see my two series of large artist's colored pencil drawings, The Thayer Street Project, (a drawing project about teens on the lively commercial street near Brown University,) and Disguises, (a series of drawings of children wearing costumes.) This will probably be my last open house for a while, so I hope you can join me.

The print pictured above is called "The Child Alone." I made it in honor of Adoption Rhode Island, a wonderful organization which works with foster children in our state who are awaiting adoption.

Beth Curtin

I am an American artist living in Switzerland. I am married and have three children. You have reached on of my two blogs. Beth Curtin Art is dedicated to my recent work in collage and paper cutting, preceded by my two large contemporary colored pencil series. Acorn Pies is my family-oriented blog, on which I share children's art making from my after-school art program, crafts, color, toy making, and outdoor fun. Thanks for coming to visit Beth Curtin Art and Acorn Pies!
